Import Tips

• Verify starch modification process documentation to confirm classification under modified starches, avoiding reclassification as native starch in Chapter 11

• Include certificates of analysis showing pregelatinization or esterification to support HTS 3505 entry and prevent duty disputes

• Label products clearly for food-grade use if applicable, as mislabeling can trigger FDA scrutiny during import
